    Our approach to technology development is different. Most development houses have a ‘technology first’ approach. Appify has a ‘value first’ approach. Sometimes excellent technology fails in the market but technology products that provide high value rarely do.  We help you identify the key value proposition in your app concept and then engineer our products to deliver that core value, efficiently and effectively. That’s different. That’s better. This is also the reason why we work using agile and lean principles. Your app is only ever alive when it is in your clients’ / your staffs’ hands, not when it is ‘in development’. We build your app, around the key value proposition, rapidly and cost effectively. Once your app is in your clients hands, we help you measure the value it delivers. Then we reiterate and build the value, reiterate and build the value. Spending money building technology doesn’t always work. Spending money building value usually does!

Frequently Asked Questions.


When Irish businesses are looking to choose a web development company for their project, several crucial factors should be taken into account. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you make an informed decision:

  1. Expertise and Experience: Look for a company with a proven track record in developing websites similar to your project. Check their portfolio and case studies, particularly those relevant to the Irish market.
  2. Technical Proficiency: Ensure the company is well-versed in the latest web technologies and frameworks. For instance, they should be familiar with responsive design, progressive web apps, and popular content management systems like WordPress or Drupal.
  3. Understanding of Local Market: A web development company with knowledge of the Irish business landscape can provide valuable insights and tailor your website to meet local preferences and regulations.
  4. Project Management and Communication: Clear communication and efficient project management are crucial. Look for companies that use project management tools and have a structured development process.
  5. Cost and Value: While price is important, it shouldn't be the only deciding factor. Consider the value offered in terms of quality, features, and long-term benefits.
  6. Security and Compliance: With the increasing importance of data protection, ensure the company follows best practices in web security and is familiar with GDPR compliance, which is crucial for businesses operating in Ireland and the EU.
  7. Scalability and Future-Proofing: Your chosen company should be able to develop a website that can grow with your business and adapt to future technological changes.
  8. Support and Maintenance: Post-launch support is critical. Inquire about their maintenance packages and response times for issues.
  9. Client References: Don't hesitate to ask for and check client references, particularly from Irish businesses in your industry.
  10. Cultural Fit: Choose a company whose work culture aligns with your own. This can lead to a more harmonious and productive working relationship.

To illustrate the importance of these factors, consider the following data:

Factor Impact on Project Success
Expertise and Experience Can increase project success rate by up to 70%
Clear Communication Reduces project delays by an average of 50%
Local Market Understanding Can improve user engagement by 30-40%
Security and Compliance Mitigates risk of data breaches by up to 60%

By carefully considering these factors, Irish businesses can significantly increase their chances of finding a web development company that not only meets their technical requirements but also aligns with their business goals and values. Remember, the right partnership can lead to a website that not only looks great but also drives real business results in the competitive Irish market.



In today's digital landscape, website security is paramount, especially for businesses in Ireland. Leading Irish web development companies employ a multi-faceted approach to protect websites against cyber threats. Here are some key strategies they use:

  1. Implementing HTTPS and SSL Certificates: Top web development agencies in Ireland ensure that all websites use HTTPS protocol and have valid SSL certificates. This encrypts data transmission between the user's browser and the website server, protecting sensitive information from interception.
  2. Regular Security Audits and Penetration Testing: Professional web development companies conduct periodic security audits and penetration testing to identify vulnerabilities. This proactive approach helps in addressing potential weaknesses before they can be exploited by cybercriminals.
  3. Robust Authentication Measures: Implementing strong authentication protocols is crucial. This includes:
    • Two-factor authentication (2FA)
    • Strong password policies
    • Limited login attempts
    • IP whitelisting for admin access
  4. Web Application Firewalls (WAF): Many Irish web development agencies utilize WAFs to filter, monitor, and block malicious traffic before it reaches the website. This helps in preventing various attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and DDoS attacks.
  5. Regular Software Updates and Patch Management: Keeping all software components, including Content Management Systems (CMS), plugins, and themes, up-to-date is crucial. Top companies in Ireland have a structured approach to manage updates and security patches promptly.
  6. Data Encryption: Beyond HTTPS, leading web development companies in Ireland implement encryption for sensitive data stored in databases. This adds an extra layer of protection against data breaches.
  7. Secure Coding Practices: Experienced Irish web developers follow secure coding guidelines to prevent common vulnerabilities. This includes input validation, output encoding, and proper error handling.
  8. Content Security Policy (CSP): Implementing CSP headers helps prevent various types of attacks, including cross-site scripting and injection attacks.

This ensures that websites not only perform well but also comply with strict European data protection standards.
